Chapter 175 Life and death struggle(1/2)
The Norman Knight, who was commanding the militia on horseback, shouted loudly, trying to reorganize the formation.
Roger loudly ordered Rubio to speed up to get closer.
The team of men who threw the javelin did not attack the chaotic horse-riding militia.
They lined up in two rows and crashed into the ranks of round shield swordsmen.
The swordsman faced the impact of the cavalry on the flat ground, which was a great loss.
Roger saw the swordsmen fall down and instantly fell into a tough battle.
He turned his head and wanted to urge Rubio again, but saw the javelin cavalry on the other side launching a sudden raid.
The crossbowmen shot arrows.
The team of javelin cavalry just attacked. They drew an arc and rushed over at the edge of the range of crossbow arrows.
All the feather arrows, as dense as raindrops, pierced on the ground, as if a clump of cattails suddenly grew from the ground.
The crossbowmen turned their bodies and stringed.
The team of javelin cavalry advanced again.
The spearmen did not dare to move, and they immediately set up a gun formation.
The dense javelin was stuck on the gun array shield.
Some javelins crossed the gun array and pricked on the large shield behind the crossbowmen.
The cavalry team did not attack the gun array, so they turned their horses and walked back.
The spearmen were about to withdraw the formation and move.
The cavalry turned their horses to charge again.
The re-launched gun array has experienced another round of baptism of javelins.
Roger knew that this level of attack would not cause any damage to the gunmen.
But the spearmen were dragged and could not move, while the crossbows were still on the strings.
Roger knew that he had no time to wait for their assistance.
Roger looked at the cavalry still in chaos and the struggling swordsman, and he knew that he had to rely on himself.
He knew that once the javelin cavalry on his side broke through the blockade of the round shield swordsman, they would siege themselves.
Roger did not choose to wait for death.
He seemed to have forgotten the option of turning around and running away.
He shouted: "Charge, charge immediately!"
He ordered the Norman Knights to give up the reorganization of formation, and he shouted: "Assault immediately! Assault!"
He saw some horse-riding militias starting to charge, without formation, and rushed over like wild boars.
He also picked up his rifle and launched a charge with Henk.
He and Henk plunged directly into the messy battle group of the round shield swordsmen.
An Aragonist who had just killed his swordsman's front was stabbed by Roger's shield and others.
Then Roger gave up his spear and drew his sword to slash at another enemy who was holding a short spear and ready to throw it.
At the same time, Roger caught a glimpse of two swords slashing at him on his left hand.
Henk blocked one.
Roger blocked the sword with his left hand, and his right hand attacked without stopping.
Roger's shield in his left hand made a loud noise.
His left hand was numb and unconscious.
But he doesn't care.
He only cares about slashing out the sword in his right hand.
His opponent didn't have time to draw his sword.
Roger's sword cut off the opponent's short spear that helmet was blocked, and cut off most of the opponent's head.
Roger's left hand was not attacked for a second time.
Henk probably blocked him.
He saw that the Norman Knights who were commanding the horse-riding militia had rushed into the battle group.
Seeing the slow-moving horse militia behind, there were scattered stars but they rushed over one after another.
He saw the round shield swordsman who received assistance start to fight back.
I saw them flexibly drilling under the horse's belly that had lost speed, causing damage constantly.
He saw an Aragonian officer jumping up from his horse and rushing towards him.
The officer completely gave up his defense and slashed at Roger with all his might.
Roger raises his shield to defend.
The shield was shattered.
The sword slashed on the long sleeve of the chain mail in Roger's left hand.
Mars collapsed.
Roger didn't feel the pain, his left arm was already numb.
He can't feel his left arm now.
The sword in his right hand spits out a letter like a poisonous snake, and it stretches and contracts.
The officer fell down and threw himself on the ground and never stood up again.
Roger saw the Javelin Cavalry retreating in the melee.
He turned his head and saw that the Javelin cavalry on the other side also retreated.
He knew he won.
After retiring the team and returning to the city lord's mansion, Roger felt the pain.
At first it was a little bit, like many small needles stabbing.
Soon his arm hurt so much that he wanted to die.
But he was glad that pain was proof of being alive.
A doctor guided the barber to apply medicine to Roger.
The doctor just speaks, never acts.
The barber is skillfully busy.
This pattern reminds Roger of later generations of doctors and nurses.
The pair of doctors and barbers was found by the housekeeper, who, according to him, was the best in Toledo.
Roger asked the butler: "Have you called the doctor to take care of the wounded?"
"Please rest assured. After you returned to the city through triumphantly, many doctors took the initiative to take care of the wounded."
Roger was very happy: "This is what the people want, hahaha."
The doctor interrupted, "Sir, please be honest. There are many scholars who learn medical skills like me in Toledo.
“We are here to translate Arab medical works and learn their knowledge.
“But this medical knowledge needs to be thoroughly mastered.
"And Toledo hasn't fought a war for a while, and everyone lacks the opportunity to practice."
Roger felt his face a little hot.
A coolness from his arms made him feel much more comfortable.
The barber used a wooden board to fix Roger's arms covered with herbs, tied them with a cloth strap and hung them around Roger's neck.
The doctor said: "Sir, the bones in your arm are not broken. Be careful, it is best not to let the injury move these two days."
Roger asked the housekeeper to send the doctor and the barber away.
He looked at the chain mail hanging on the side.
There is a deep cut mark near the clamp.
Roger felt very lucky. If he leaned a little more, his left hand would be gone.
He thought of the officer who sacrificed his life to attack him.
We also had a mass together in the morning, chatting and laughing, and in the afternoon we fought life and death, and the yin and yang were separated.
This is a troubled time.
